Use Pythagorean theorem for side1 = a, side2 =  3, and hypotenuse = 2a
    a² + b² = c²
 a² + (3)² = (2a)
  a² +  9  =  4a²
          9  =  3a²
          3  = a²
         √3 = a

side1 = a = √3 ft
side2 = 3 ft (this was given in the problem)
hypotenuse = 2a = 2√3 ft

Answer:

3 feet , square root 3, 2 square root 3
